Hello, This computer had some malware on it. I used MalwareBytes to get rid of it. I had to remove the proxy setting in Internet Explorer. Firefox won't connect to the Internet if 'No Proxy' is set. It needs to be set to 'Auto detect proxy'.

Another symptom I'm seeing is that McAfee gets turned off after starting at boot. If I try to turn it on, it just doesn't turn on.

Additionally, all the files in My Documents are now hidden. I have to enable 'show hidden files' in Folder and Search Options > View.

I ran Malwarebytes and an ESET on-line scan. Each found a few items. I don't know where to go from here. Please help.

Kenny has helped before. Hope he can again.

Thanks,- Tony

The files were too long to post here so I included them as attachments.

The McAfee Security Center now reports that the AV is turning on and staying on. Yeah!!

However, I still have the problem with Firefox not keeping the setting to use no proxy.

Also, the files in My Documents are still only visible if I enable viewing of Hidden files. New files in the folder are ok. Maybe I just have to uncheck the Hidden attribute in Properties for all of them.
